It might be about the fear of evil mutant bunny rabbits -- leporiphobia.

Consider:

"Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit"
"Monte Python and the Holy Grail"
And Edward P. Dowd is a case all by himself.  (Or, as was said about
Basil Fawlty by one of the two doctors, Mr. and Mrs., "there's enough
there for an article.")

There is also the case of "Little Albert":  see Wikipedia.
